Hi Chris-
I know what you mean about reading Help but I'm wondering if this isn't
due to my age.
Maybe they write manuals today with a presumption the reader is a young
generation
who are not so conditioned by three dimensional reality and 10 key
calculators.
I used to think that retired White House politicians wrote those
manuals. (g)

What would be really useful would be a means of selecting Emailer as

It can be set. IIRC, it is in the Mail.app prefs. I'm not exactly sure
why Apple put it there, other than their new motto seems to be
"counter-intuitive is the way to go".
After all, OS X now puts things is sometimes less than obvious places,
as
do many features of their iApps (I remember the days of figuring out
Mac
applications without ever touching a manual... I had to give up on iDVD
yesterday because I didn't have time to go thru the less than helpful
help file, and after 10 minutes of messing with it, I wasn't able to
figure out how to get the DVD menus to work the way I wanted).
Of course, this should be expected from a company that has decided all
their software should look like metal, and all their hardware should
look
like plastic!
But I still love them... because the worst counter-intuitive things on
the Mac are still more intuitive than the most intuitive things on
Windows (and we won't even get into Linux!!!)
